Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon to have a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised by the amazing…read moreservice and delicious food. The waitress was hilarious and very sharp. We loved her. I had the Rachel with whole wheat (instead of rye) and it may be one of the best Rachel sandwiches I've ever had. Toasted bread, Swiss cheese, fresh turkey cold cuts, Russian dressing, and coleslaw. I googled it down as soon as I could. The fries were okay, but I'm also not a fan of those frozen bagged fries that have a little flour on the outside for better frying. Freshcut will always win my vote and I recommend CrossRoads considers it. Plus it saves freezer space and only takes seconds to cut them with a machine. With that said, the sweet potato fries were fantastic! In short, we're really glad we gave this place a shot and we will be heading back for dinner soon!

Lmao Well, we ended up here after trying to go elsewhere for lunch, but the other spot was closed for vacation. I knew this would be a good alternative since I've been a few times. Everything I've had here has very good, from the wings to the wraps and years ago, a dinner. buffet. They have family to go meals like lots of restaurants are doing and I've tried it before for chicken parm night and it was very good. Our waitress/bartender was amazing and attentive. It helps that they weren't too overly busy. Occasionally, they have live music as well, also on the patio when the weather is nice.

We got lucky and the weather was nice... just a bit breezy but not cold…read more It was a quiet Sunday morning about 11am when we showed up and asked to sit on the patio. Only 2 other tables on the table were occupied so it was pretty quiet. When we left about an hour later, there were quite a few more people. Connor took good care of us and made sure we were well hydrated and caffeinated. Our food was quite tasty! Had I not been planning on a long day of exploring, I would have indulged in a Bloody Mary. I saw a couple enjoying them at a nearby table and my mouth watered enviously. This is a great spot to enjoy a brunch like we did or to close out the day with a nice evening cocktail and dinner.

I ordered the prime rib special and a while after ordering the waitress comes to me and says they had a problem getting the baked potato cooked and asked I would like mashed potatoes loaded instead. I said that was ok. Our meals showed up a few minutes later and we started trying to eat while fighting the house flys. My prime looked like it had been sitting around while they tried to figure out what to do about the baked problem. The potatoes tasted funny and the carrots were not cooked. I've never had suck a disappointing meal in my life at a restaurant and it was our 37th anniversary.

Conviently located on State St next to Proctors Theater. Free public parking behind Proctors week days after 5pm & weekends. We ordered the four course special (rotating menu) from our attentive waitperson Michael. We ordered wine $10-12 per glass from their wide selection. Full bar offerings. Apps were fried oysters & mozzarella w/ blistered tomatoes & basil. Next was tomato bisque soup & mixed greens salads. Then the pasta course - gnocchi w/ marinara sauce & pasta primavera. Entrees were pork tenderloins & chicken Sorrento. All served appropriately hot or cold, very tasty, and just-right portion sized. Also warm, crusty bread w/ herbed butter. Excellent presentation. High recommendation for this upscale Italian+ restaurant. We will be back. Thank you Michael & all the staff at Grano. Nick, Liz, & Lauren Albany, NY USA

A longtime Italian American friend whom I have known since first grade recently asked me to…read morerecommend a restaurant. He and his family are meeting in their birthplace and mine --Schenectady-- for a sibling family reunion. They now live elsewhere but remember their hometown fondly. I immediately thought of Grano! It is a popular restaurant in downtown Schenectady known for its farm-to-table focus and authentic Italian cuisine served in a warm, urban atmosphere. It offers dishes like fresh-made pasta, mussels, and other Italian classics. The emphasis is on fresh, simple ingredients revered by Italian chefs. I like the selection of small plates and pasta dishes. We recently enjoyed Grilled Octopus (Potatoes, olives, celery, radish, tomato jam, blood orange lemon vinaigrette), Lemon Basil Ricotta Fritters, Chicken in Vodka Sauce, and Armondo's Zuppa Di Pesce (Egg fettuccine, cod, clams, shrimp, PEI mussels, scallops, marinara). The food was prepared with expertise and exceptionally delicious. I did not take photos because I was caught up enjoying the good food and conversation. Our server was experienced, attentive, and helpful with ordering. The crusty bread was perfect to mop up the sauces! They are also making a reservation at Cornell's, their choice.

We visited them over the summer. We had pizza to go that took over an hour to be ready. The pizza…read morewas very good. The salad was also very good. Returned in September only to have the worst service ever. We sat there waiting for a drink for about 20 minutes while the staff were doing shots. We decided to have a drink to see if the service would get better. However, it did not. We waited 15 minutes after asking for our bill. Ordered some takeout on November 28, We ordered chicken wings, a tossed salad and buffalo french fries. The wings were definitely a triple fried, there wasn't any meat on the bones because it was fried off. The salad was welted and may as well have been just a little lettuce with two cucumbers, and that was it. The cucumbers were wilted. The french fries were soggy as to be expected for takeout, but there was nothing fresh about anything that we ordered. Will not be ordering again. We received a phone call 20 minutes after our order asking when we were going to pick it up because apparently they were closing early due to no business. Just not the best experience or what we were hoping for to get this place a third chance. Three times and that's it!

We sat for 5 minutes before being greeted, she came and got our drink order and came back 10 minutes later with only half of our drinks. The dining room is dirty, the carpets stained and the tables sticky. The food was just ok. The owner thanked us for coming and was very friendly. It's great to see this old place open and I wish they would clean it up a bit and fix the mediocre renovations that were done.

Table of eight adults and two grandchildren for a late Irish Pub lunch on a Thursday…read more Heidi took very good care of us. We had a small private room upstairs in this historic building with original wide wood floor boards and staircases. I ordered the Craic --grilled roast beef, sautéed onions, provolone cheese, horseradish mayonnaise on a baguette($18.00) which was served au jus. The beef was tender and the baguette was fresh. It was large so I ate have and took half home. Delicious! I also had the French Onion Soup (along with three others.) Sadly, it was spoiled for me by a completely soft/soggy bread slice (mush) below the cheese top. I quietly removed it from my bowl. However, the broth was flavorful. I remember it being excellent. Reason for 4 stars instead of five. My grandson enjoyed the Shepherd's Pie. Since he is a growing lad, he also had the well made fries. The three salads ordered were excellent. One salad had salmon, one had Buffalo Chicken, and one had beets and goat cheese. Generous amounts of protein were served. The children enjoyed the toasted cheese sandwich, Mac and cheese, and waffle fries. The Wings were good. The extensive menu is easy to read with a variety of exciting food choices available. Always something new to try!

Good place with a mixture of outside and inside seating. Service is usually prompt and attentive…read more Menu has what I think of as standard "pub food". And a standard bar. We've tried a lot of different things but the best in my opinion is the wings, the jalapeño poppers and the loaded nachos. Burgers and wraps are also quite good.

The food came out quickly. It was tasty and most of us had plenty of leftovers to bring home for later. I would absolutely return for the nice outdoor ambience!

Two enormous peppers stuffed with meat, rice, cheese and sauce over a huge bed of spiral macaroni in their home made sauce. Came along with fresh baked Italian bread, their restaurant made herbed butter and a salad with their restaurant made dressing. Food was excellent and plentiful. We got the dinner for 2 for $23. We chowed down but still have an additional dinner for 2 in leftovers. If you are thinking of takeout of a T/W/T look up what they are serving on their website and if it strikes your fancy give it a go. You won't be disappointed.
